This seems to work everywhere (for ages), except on my newest ubuntu DD machine, where it simply ignores all enviroment variables when I type make... They just don't go in, for example, if I put $(HOSTNAME) on any target, it is just empty even though echo $HOSTNAME spits something out on the command line... I am baffled and don't know how to even start debugging this.
Any ideas?
